🌱 Fertilizer remains a cornerstone for ag retailers, yet 2024 presented a challenging landscape. According to the CropLife 100 survey, fertilizer revenues dropped 11% from 2023, declining from $22.4 billion to $19.9 billion—the sharpest fall in decades. Despite steady volumes, significant price drops for macronutrients like nitrogen and potash drove this revenue decline. 🌽 Prices for nitrogen fertilizers, once exceeding $1,000 per ton in 2022, fell to $400-$500 per ton in 2024, reflecting pre-COVID levels. What do you predict for the fertilizer market in 2025? Will prices stabilize, or will new challenges emerge? 📖 Read the full article for deeper insights: https://ow.ly/AFTs50Us5AJ #CropLife100 #Agriculture #FertilizerTrends #AgRetail #CropInputs

🌾 The ag retail landscape is shifting again in 2024. West Central Ag Services, ranked #31 on the 2023 CropLife 100, has accepted a $225 million acquisition offer from CHS, with members set to vote on the final decision November 26. If approved, this move adds another chapter to the growing trend of consolidation among ag retailers. From Panhandle Cooperative merging with Farmers Cooperative to Wickman Chemical selling assets to Landus Cooperative, the push for relevance in today’s challenging agricultural environment is evident. While consolidation isn’t new, factors like uncertain farm incomes (2024 projected at $140 billion, down 4.4% from 2023) are accelerating this strategy as companies strive to secure their futures. 📖 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/g9_xvqVX #AgRetail #CropLife100 #Agribusiness #AgTrends
